Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue Amber
Divisive yet addictive, this Montale amber bomb demands patience. The opening is rough, but if you can push through, it transforms into a uniquely comforting, powdery amber that captivates loyal fans, but repels others.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Mystery Tobacco
This is a real head-turner, divisive for its price point and comparisons to other tobacco heavy hitters but praised for its smooth, sophisticated blend. It's a must-try for serious tobacco lovers, but prepare your wallet.
